Journalist shares worrying Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal update

Arsenal have been trying to get a deal done for Riccardo Calafiori but it now appears their quest to sign the Italian is in serious doubt.

After impressing in Euro 2024 despite Italy doing poorly, Calafiori has emerged as the main target for Arsenal and their manager, Mikel Arteta.

However, up to now, no deal has been done and it’s been looking ever nervy for the Gunners as they look to complete the transfer.

Arsenal are said to still be confident when it comes to Calafiori, however, the Italian side have also asked Calafiori to return to training as well as the deal drags on.

And now, according to journalist Rudy Galetti, things are starting to look a bit glum for the Gunners when it comes to completing the deal.

Arsenal now having doubts over Riccardo Calafiori deal

Taking to X to provide an update on the situation surrounding Calafiori and Arsenal, journalist Galetti has said that patience is starting to run out.

Indeed, he’s suggested that Arsenal are now having doubts over the deal amid claims that it might not represent the value for money they’re looking for.

Should Arsenal end up missing out on Calafiori then it will feel like a bitter blow for Mikel Arteta and Edu.

Fans, too, will wonder what has gone wrong, given they’ve looked on and seen Manchester United sign Leny Yoro in double quick time just this week.

The Gunners are looking to add to the ranks throughout the entire squad and a new left-footed defender is seen as key to the development of the squad.

Arsenal fans, then, will be hoping there’s some progress on Calafiori as the weekend continues.

Arsenal jet off to the USA on Sunday and as it stands, it doesn’t look like Calafiori will be in the building to make that trip.
